The principle of symmetric bracket invariance as the origin of first and second quantization

Abstract

The principle of invariance of the c-number symmetric bracket is used to derive both the quantum operator commutator relation $[\hat{q},\hat{p}]=i\hslash$ and the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. A c-number dynamical equation is found which leads to the second quantized field theory of bosons and fermions.
